Just now, his hands had wrapped around Zhang Xiao's waist, causing her waist to be slender and soft, and her body to emit a faint fragrance. When she had smashed into his embrace, he had felt a short moment of shock, thinking that it was Tong Tong …

d.a.m.n it!

He touched the body of a woman other than Tong Tong!

Hurry and wash your hands.

In less than ten seconds, Mu Chen's face changed. He turned and left his daughter's room, returned to his bedroom and entered the bathroom. Soon, he heard the sound of water flowing, and he had to wash off yet another layer of skin from his hands.

It was all because of Zhang Xiao!

In the middle of the night, he went to his daughter's room to secretly kiss His daughter. He clearly had a sound when he walked, but she did not hear it when she b.u.mped into him.

He would not have reached for her if she had not fallen into her daughter's bed to wake her up.

Just like that, Mu Chen spent an entire ten minutes to wash his hands. After finally being satisfied with his bath, he came out of the bathroom, casually using a dry towel to wipe the water droplets in his hand.

Not long after, he laid down on the big bed, but the pillow was empty, and Ning Tong's charming figure was no longer there. On the side where Ning Tong slept, Ning Tong's favorite toy was still laid on the bedside table. It was a very cute toy dog from a Maltese dog.

That was Ning Tong's fifth birthday, the birthday present he had given her. Who would have thought that Ning Zhi Yuan would also give him an toy dog that was exactly the same as the one he gave his? Ning Tong especially liked the pup. He found clothes that no longer fit her and begged his mother to make them a set of small clothes for each pup. Then, he helped the pup to put them on and treated them as her pets.

Right now, Ning Tong had only kept the pup that he had gifted her, and the one that Ning Zhi Yuan had given his was given to a cute little sister. That little sister was the same age as her, and was younger than her by half a month.

It was him who picked up that little sister of his …

Mu Chen crawled his way over, and extended his hand to pick up his dead wife's pet toy dog. He lovingly caressed the puppy's fur, but his heart was aching.

It was the Twenty-Two. This toy dog had been protected very well by Tong Tong and had not even changed the clothes on Doggie's body. It was still the same as before. Maybe it was because Mother Ning had made the clothes herself, Ning Tong was reluctant to change out of it.

Now, things remained the same. Her lover was already dead.

She couldn't wait to see her little sister again.

She couldn't wait for the two toy dog to gather.

He still remembered what she said when she transferred one of the pup s to his little sister. She said: If fate wills it, we will meet again.

She was no longer there. Even if the two toy dog met again, what was the point?

"Tong Tong, Tong Tong..."

Mu Chen muttered as pain surrounded him. He hugged pup tightly as though he was hugging Ning Tong.

This night was the night of longing, the night of unbearable pain, the night of sleeplessness.

Mu Chen didn't know when he fell asleep, he only knew that he was dreaming of Ning Tong. Ning Tong always looked at him gently, but he called her and she ignored him. He kept on calling her, but she still turned around and left.

When he slept, the sky was already bright and the sun was high in the sky. Before he went to sleep, he did not close the heavy curtains, so the sunlight entered through the window, stinging his eyes, causing him, who had just woken up, to shut his eyes again.

"Mom, Mom."

Mu Ya's cries came out. He heard it very quietly, but he heard it in the end.

In a hurry, he sat up. Without even tidying up his clothes, he hurriedly walked out in his house slippers.

As soon as he went out the door, he saw Zhang Xiao running up from downstairs with big steps. Her speed was so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning, and just like a gust of wind, she pa.s.sed right in front of him. But when she reached Mu Ya's door, she braked, and while she was gasping for breath, she slowly opened the door.

Although Mu Ya was young, she could still slip out of the bed by herself after waking up. Zhang Xiao already knew that this kid would wake up and run to the door herself, crawling on the door and knocking while crying. In order not to b.u.mp into Mu Ya, she followed Ning Zhi Yuan's example and slowly pushed the door open.

Indeed, Mu Ya was standing by the door.

When Zhang Xiao pushed the door open, there were already two strings of sparkling and transparent pearls hanging on her young and tender face.

"Mommy …" "Hug …"

When she saw Zhang Xiao, Mu Ya wailed and threw herself at Zhang Xiao's feet. Her two small hands wrapped around Zhang Xiao's calves, her little face raised up and her teary eyes looking up at Zhang Xiao, looking pitiful.

This child's greatest ability was to make one's heart ache, to make one's heart soften, and to let water drip out.

"Alright, mom is here. Don't cry, don't cry. You've all cried so much." After Zhang Xiao carried Mu Ya, he started walking in. She first went to get a small towel and helped Mu Ya wash her face, casually wiping the tears off her face.

After was.h.i.+ng her face, she placed Mu Ya on the ground, then went to pour Mu Ya a cup of lukewarm water, and coaxed him into drinking half a cup of lukewarm water.

"Da Da Da"

The sound of slippers deliberately stomping heavily on the floor came from behind him.

The two women looked towards the source of the voice.

It was Mu Chen.

Wearing slippers, he walked in with heavy steps. His voice was especially loud.

Last night, Zhang Xiao mocked him for having the potential to be a ghost, saying that he would not make a sound if he walked. He purposely increased his pace today. Can you always hear me?

When Mu Chen came in, he first squatted in front of her daughter. When facing Zhang Xiao, his tensed face became gentle, as he cuddled her precious daughter, and said dotingly, "Good morning, Mu Ya."

Mu Ya looked at him, her small mouth opened, and she spat out words that were unclear between her teeth, "Father … "Father …" Daddy, she's still incomplete.

Mu Chen was stunned at first, but in the next moment, he was wild with joy as he hugged her daughter and kissed her face with all his might, smiling happily, "Mu Ya, you called me daddy? Mu Ya, daddy is too happy."

Compared to Mu Chen's wild joy, Mu Ya pushed her away with her hands to continue kissing her face, then struggled in her embrace with all her might. After her arms were released, she slid down to the ground, then walked in front of Zhang Xiao and shouted, "Mother hug!"

It was still his mother who shouted, "Go easy!"

Daddy is not easy to call.

Even so, Mu Chen was still very happy. After seeing Zhang Xiao carry the child, he immediately went over and helped her daughter choose a set of beautiful dresses, allowing Zhang Xiao to help the child change her clothes.

Seeing his happiness, Zhang Xiao smiled, "If you have more time to accompany your child, Mu Ya will quickly get close to you." After all, they were father and daughter, and their blood was thicker than water.

Mu Chen acknowledged, "In two days time, it will be Sunday. I will push away all the activities in the business world and properly accompany Mu Ya for two days."

Although Zhang Xiao was Zhang Hao Tian's daughter, she had a certain saying: money was never as important as children. Money could not be earned, but to miss the childhood of a child, is to miss forever.

From now on, he would partic.i.p.ate in the growth of his children.
